London is great iff you have comfort at home, i.e. if you live in a good place where you actually rest. If you live in a shoebox it's miserable

- dukeyukey 3y agoI'd actually argue the other way around - London is a great place to live in a shoebox, because while housing is more expensive here, everything else is similar to the rest of the country, and there's a tonne of cheap/free stuff to go to. Moving to London and staying at home is like living in Sydney and never going to the beach, or to Vancouver and never going to the mountains. You're just not doing what the city is great at.
- asdadsdad 3y agohaving lived in NYC, which has a more intense albeit similar vibe, I have come to appreciate having a comfortable place to go back to at the end of a day. I think that makes a total difference on your experience. That and commute time. Cities like that offer so much, but I personally prefer to take bites of it whenever I feel like it. I think the biggest wins are the job market, career progression, the business opportunities, the fact that it's one of the best travel hubs in the world, and the insane amount of quality and diverse food, entertainment, and shopping options.
